Deltan Dallagnol wrote that, according to Metrópoles, the Federal Police found a photo on banker Vorcaro's cell phone of a reserved seat in his name for the ceremony in which Lula received the title of Doctor Honoris Causa in June 2025. The image is said to have been sent by lawyer Walfrido Warde. Dallagnol stated that the conversations indicated that Vorcaro did not attend the event. However, before the ceremony, Warde allegedly suggested that he meet the "man" in Brasília and said that Lula would see him there; according to the author, investigators understood the reference to be to the president. Dallagnol questioned what kind of access Vorcaro might have had, who would have mediated the contact, and what interests might have been discussed. He also asked readers to share their opinions. #Lula #Política #Brasil (translated)

Julio Schneider stated that Jaques Wagner was the main leader of the PT in Bahia and had been Lula's leader in the Senate from 2023 until June. According to Schneider, Wagner left the position after being targeted by the Federal Police in the Master case, which investigated whether he had acted in favor of banker Vorcaro in exchange for benefits. The author said that the searches found around R$ 482,000 in cash. Schneider also wrote that Folha had shown Guiga Sodré, Wagner's trusted man, negotiating works by Portinari and Guignard with Vorcaro and giving the banker Wagner's phone number. #PT #Bahia #Lula (translated)

Julio Schneider stated that Daniel Vorcaro, owner of Banco Master and arrested for fraud, reported in audios and documents obtained by VEJA a proposal involving R$ 30 million in cash for the Lula Institute. According to Schneider, the account was part of an attachment presented to the Attorney General's Office in June, as part of a second plea bargain proposal that was discarded due to lack of corroboration. According to the version attributed to Vorcaro, Augusto Lima, then partner and CEO of Master, allegedly approached João Vaccari Neto through Jaques Wagner, then leader of Lula's government in the Senate. Vaccari would have conditioned the bank's accreditation for federal pension funds — Previ, Caixa Asset, Funcef, Petros, and Postalis — on two payments to the Lula Institute, headed by Paulo Okamotto: about R$ 30 million in cash to cover expenses of the documentary about Lula directed by Oliver Stone and another undisclosed amount. Schneider also wrote that Vaccari would have asked for 10% of the resources that Master raised from the funds. If the plan had materialized, according to the estimate attributed to Vorcaro, the Workers' Party would receive about R$ 1 billion and Vorcaro R$ 9 billion; the operation did not progress. The author emphasized that this was Vorcaro's version, not a conviction. Schneider also pointed out that, in the audio, Vorcaro contrasted the sponsorship of the film about Bolsonaro, which he described as regular, with the support for the documentary about Lula, which would have been paid in cash. #Lula #Corrupção #Documentário (translated)

IaraGB wrote that, according to a report by Daniel Vorcaro to VEJA, the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, allegedly demanded around R$ 30 million in cash, off the books, for Banco Master to enter the pension funds of federal employees Banco do Brasil, Caixa Asset, and Previ. The amount, according to the publication, was said to be intended for the Lula Institute, led by Paulo Okamotto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, directed by Oliver Stone and featuring testimonies from allies like Walfrido Warde. Vorcaro also allegedly reported the payment of another undisclosed amount directly to the institute. The author stated that, according to the banker’s account, the approach was made by Augusto Lima, then a partner and CEO of Master, and Jaques Wagner allegedly mediated the meeting with Vaccari. The allegation was said to have been presented to the PGR in June, in the second testimony, but was filed away due to lack of evidence, as the payment was said to have been made in cash. According to the publication, the defense mentioned WhatsApp messages, names of people who allegedly picked up the money, and delivery routes. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Leonardo Dias wrote that, according to VEJA magazine (issue 3016, from 10/9/2026), Daniel Vorcaro reportedly detailed in audio and in material submitted to the PGR in June how Banco Master obtained access to the pension funds of state entities. In the version attributed to Vorcaro, Jaques Wagner allegedly facilitated the connection, and partner Augusto Lima reportedly met with João Vaccari Neto. Dias stated that Vorcaro described a payment of about R$ 30 million in cash for Oliver Stone's documentary about Lula, through Paulo Okamotto, in addition to an undisclosed amount to the Lula Institute. Later, according to the report, the Master would pay 10% of what it raised from the funds of BB, Caixa, Petrobras, and Correios: Vorcaro estimated R$ 1 billion for the PT and R$ 9 billion for himself. The author also mentioned messages found on Vorcaro's cell phone. According to Dias, an operator identified as Júlio introduced him to Olavo Noleto, the executive secretary of Alexandre Padilha. On 4/29/2024, Master was said to have entered a list that released the funds; on the same day, Júlio allegedly demanded R$ 500,000. Two days later, a dinner with Padilha was said to have occurred at the banker’s house. In October, Júlio reportedly wrote that the president would meet with Vorcaro. Dias added that Padilha allegedly said dealing with Noleto was equivalent to dealing with him. According to the author, the operation stopped in July 2024, after it became public that Caixa managers opposed to the deal had lost their positions. Vorcaro was said to have claimed that municipal funds yielded R$ 6 million to Padilha’s group. Dias compared this amount to the more than R$ 60 million from Dark Horse and reported that Vorcaro differentiated the payments linked to Lula from those related to Flávio. Dias noted that Lula, Padilha, and Noleto denied the accusations. He also stated that there was no evidence that the meeting with Lula promised by Júlio took place; the only confirmed meeting at the Planalto, on 12/4/2024 and outside the official agenda, reportedly dealt with the Master at the Central Bank. The author said that the PGR dismissed the attachment due to a lack of evidence of cash payments and that the same archived material mentioned payments to Davi Alcolumbre and members of the Judiciary. #Lula #Corrupção #PolíticaBrasileira (translated)

Jakelyne Loiola stated that the magazine Veja had revealed that the Attorney General of the Republic was aware of the case and had not taken measures since last June.

Among the amounts mentioned would be a payment of R$ 30 million in cash to the Lula Institute, in addition to other undisclosed sums. According to Menezes, Vorcaro stated that the approach to the PT was orchestrated by Augusto Lima, then partner and CEO of Master, with the mediation of Jaques Wagner, who was then the leader of the Lula government in the Senate. She said that the information was included in an annex delivered to the Attorney General's Office last June, when Vorcaro's second plea proposal was dismissed. Menezes added that, according to Vorcaro, the money would be intended for expenses of a documentary about Lula filmed abroad. The banker allegedly mentioned the film *Lula*, directed by Oliver Stone and composed of testimonies from friends and allies of the president. #Lula #Corrupção #PolíticaBrasil (translated)

Gustavo Tutinha wrote that the information presented in the follow-up of the Judicial Recovery detailed the financial situation of Vasco and the SAF in 2026. According to him, the updated balance of loans was R$ 287.9 million: R$ 282.4 million in principal and R$ 5.5 million in interest and adjustment. Of this total, R$ 84 million corresponded to Crefisa and R$ 203.9 million to Almirante. Tutinha reported that the loan from Crefisa had a yield of CDI + 7% per year and quarterly amortizations until September 2028. Of the contracts with Almirante, R$ 156.5 million were updated by the CDI, maturing in December 2027, and R$ 47.4 million by the INPC, with maturities in July and August 2027. In July and August, according to him, two loans were contracted with Almirante Participações, of R$ 40 million and R$ 5.6 million, both with a single payment due in 2027. The operation of R$ 40 million also provided for a fiduciary assignment of part of the LFU receivables linked to the commercial appeal criterion. The consolidated tax debt of the recovering companies was approximately R$ 271 million and reached R$ 334 million with adjustments, fines, and interest, wrote Tutinha. During negotiations with the PGFN, Vasco and the Prosecutor's Office supposedly agreed to temporarily reduce the installments of the installments to R$ 580 thousand monthly until the consolidation of a new transaction. The cash balance reported on August 31 was R$ 5.6 million. Between January and August, the cash flow recorded R$ 201.4 million in receipts related to economic rights of athletes, according to Tutinha. Rayan accounted for R$ 171.9 million; Leandrinho was also mentioned with R$ 9.3 million; João Victor, with R$ 5.6 million; Luiz Gustavo, with R$ 5.3 million; Loide, with R$ 2.1 million; and Galarza, with R$ 2 million. Tutinha attributed the increase in marketing revenues in June to the receipt, in a single installment, of R$ 25 million from the master sponsorship contract with SportingBet. The SAF reported, according to Tutinha's account, that cash outflows in August were lower because R$ 46.6 million in payments were deferred to September: R$ 32.6 million in transfer fees, R$ 5.5 million in commissions, R$ 4.5 million in signing bonuses, R$ 3.4 million in taxes, and R$ 630 thousand in TEF. The cash flow recorded R$ 56.8 million in restructuring disbursements between January and August. The breakdown presented by the SAF, however, totaled R$ 59.1 million: R$ 21.9 million for the CNRD, R$ 19.5 million for tax installment plans, R$ 6.8 million related to Judicial Recovery, R$ 5.3 million for the Judicial Administrator and legal and financial advisors, R$ 4.3 million in transfers to the CRVG and R$ 1.3 million for BACEN. Tutinha observed that the itemized amounts did not match the total recorded in the cash flow. According to the numbers disclosed by him, the SAF had 46,347 active clients in the supporter program in January and 35,790 in August, a reduction of approximately 10.5 thousand. Of the clients registered in August, 35,214 were up to date with their payments. Tutinha also wrote that Vasco claimed to be meeting its obligations under the Judicial Recovery Plan on time and settling debts incurred after the recovery request and extrajudicial credits. In the CNRD, the club was to allocate R$ 15 million per year for the payment of three plans; the credits were adjusted by the IPCA and were not subject to discounts. Regarding the agreement concluded in September, Tutinha reported that 777 declared it did not oppose the establishment of the New SAF, the creation of the UPI Equity, the judicial sale of 90% of the shares, nor the transfer of the shares to the winner of the competitive process. The former controller also reportedly stated that it would withdraw from incidents and appeals related to Judicial Recovery and relinquish respective claims. Tutinha affirmed that the numbers outlined the financial operation of Vasco as the club moved towards a new phase of restructuring and the completion of the sale of the New SAF. #Vasco #Futebol #Finanças (translated)

Flávio Bolsonaro sent an amendment for a non-existent company. In 2024, Flávio Bolsonaro allocated R$ 3.1 million for primary health care in the municipality of Mesquita (RJ), governed by PL. Of these funds, R$ 666,000 were paid to the Institute of Medicine and Project (IMP) in August 2025. In June of this year, the Federal Revenue Service classified the IMP as "non-existent in fact." According to a document from the agency, there are "reasons that evidence that the company was established for the purpose of tax fraud, including for the benefit of third-party companies." The IMP is under scrutiny from TCE-RJ. Only Mesquita signed contracts of over R$ 580 million with the IMP between 2019 and the end of 2024. Despite the volume of resources, the IMP has not had a website since 2021, the emails provided in the contracts do not work, and the phone registered with the Federal Revenue does not answer. Furthermore, the president of the IMP was an elderly person, a beneficiary of a social program, and lived for free, as reported by G1 in 2023 (uol). (translated)
